[PATCH v2 02/10] slab: makes clear_obj_pfmemalloc() just return masked value

[Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>]

clear_obj_pfmemalloc() takes the pointer to pointer to store masked value
back into this address. But this is useless, since we don't use this stored
value anymore. All we need is just masked value so makes clear_obj_pfmemalloc()
just return masked value.

v2: simplify commit description.
    directly return return value of clear_obj_pfmemalloc().
